Dreams to a lot of people are just some kind of movie that goes on in their heads when they sleep, that they seem to have little or no control over, while some are happy dreams there are other very dark dreams that are scary. It is nice to know though that we can actually achieve control over these dreams and engage is something called lucid dreaming.
But is this actually real or is the reality of dream control just a myth? It it really is true then what are the benefits of it? And can anyone really achieve this state of being able to control everything that happens when you are dreaming?
What exactly is meant by dream control?
Dream control is something which is available to us through the use if lucid dreaming and grants us the ability to know, even while in the midst of a dream, to be aware that you are doing so – this lets you start to take control over the direction of your dreams! Even while you are fast asleep, your mind can be in total control of what happens.
For the nightmare sufferers of the world, this can help them find a cure, and back to being able to sleep nice and sound again, and back to having pleasant dreams.
The Common Methods of Achieving Lucid Dreaming are:
One of the most effective ways of inducing lucid dreaming is also one of the newest – binaural audio. This is a technology which involves listening to two different frequencies at the same time. This listening produces deep relaxation and allows your brainwaves to synchronize, leading to the REM sleep state necessary for lucid dreaming to occur.
Long before the discovery of modern technology and bringing with it the availability of all kinds of programs. Programs which could now be found on DVDs or CDs. The methods, before the explosion of technology, were meditation and self hypnosis and were accepted as the techniques used for lucid dreaming. Even though many individuals, using these methods, reported it to be very difficult to achieve the state of lucid dreaming.
There are a number of other techniques which have been used by experts to help people achieve dream control. All of these techniques work towards the goal of training the mind to understand that they are dreaming so that they can enter a state of lucid dreaming.
To accomplish this, it takes us being completely awake it start, with the secret being the ability to remember to either say something or do an action in the dream, which will bring on the appropriate realization in your mind and permit you to control the next events happening.
Much of the time it's a matter of telling yourself your going to sleep and start to dream and will remember to say or do something specific in that dream. With this, instantly you will know you are dreaming.
This form of dream control training is called MILD (mnemonic induction of lucid dreams) and was developed by the scientist Dr. Stephen LaBerge. This mnemonic technique allows you to start using dream control to decide how your dreams will play out. Once you are lucid dreaming, there are no limits except for your own imagination!
There is another way of reaching lucid dreaming and it involves making a dream journal or diary, do this by keeping a pen or pencil and a notebook of some kind by your bed so that you can jot down any information that you are able to recall in the moments right after you wake up. By doing this for several nights, you will begin to see that you are able to recall the facts you have jotted down and dream something similar but this time you will start to exert control over the events.
Conquer the dragons of your nightmares, go to exotic locations, investigate magical lands, talk to any person your desire, and escape from worldly bonds. By controlling your dreams, everything can be a possibility, and gives us the ability to reign over our imaginary worlds we dream about nightly, and totally control what is going to happen.
However, keep in mind that you can have too much of a good thing, even dream control. Experts in the field have said that our dreams can be a way of our subconscious minds trying to tell us something important. It’s important to give yourself a few nights off from lucid dreaming now and then, as amazing of an experience as discovering dream control can be.
